Florida | Weekie Wachee | 37.72 Recreational Land

A beautiful second magnitude spring with a large pool spanning 200-300 feet across marks the focal point of this beautiful property. Mud River Spring is situated fully within the parcel boundaries in the NE portion of the property. The spring flows cool, clear water to form the headwaters of Mud Creek, a tributary to the famed Weeki Wachee River. It is not uncommon to see manatee among schools of fish during the winter season in the spring. The Western side of the tract marks the edge of the broad marshlands of the Gulf of Mexico. Two smaller spring vents are adjacent to the tidal creek near the NW corner of the property. The southern portion of the property features frontage on the Mud River and adjoins a small and charming fish camp. Between the wetlands lies approximately 18 acres of uplands featuring attractive pine and hardwood forest including a mature stand of slash pine with some specimens approaching two feet in diameter.

Although a relic of natural Florida, this property is easily accessed off Cortez Boulevard and Mary’s Fish Camp Road. It is conveniently located only a few miles from the iconic Weeki Wachee Springs State Park or from Pine Island Beach Park. It is also just a couple miles from Hernando County’s Bayport Park with deep water Gulf access via Bayport Channel. The area offers some of the most prolific inshore and offshore angling on the west coast of Florida.
